[Tex/LaTex] auto-pst-pdf throws ‘MiKTeX GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1’

auto-pst-pdferrorsmiktex

In a machine with freshly installed MikTex 2.9 the below error is generated every time a file is compiled which uses auto-pst-pdf package, but then PDF is produced fine. Does this require any corrective actions?

Process started: pdflatex.exe --shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "forestmwe".tex

This answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/119295/37570 initially seemed similar but I could not find lpr in the config.ps file, so it did not apply.

Use always

\usepackage[crop=off]{auto-pst-pdf}% With an onstalled Perl always crop=on!
\ifpdf
  \usepackage{forest}
\else
  \usepackage{pst-barcode}
\fi
